Sometimes I'm surprised by the specific things that annoy me

Like, after watching Sarah Palin's speech, there are undoubtedly a lot of things about it that annoy me. I could've picked just about any of a few dozen reasons to hate it. But, it's weird. The one thing that hit me the most was all the shit-talking she did about community organizers.

I mean, I get it. You're trying to belittle Obama's experience. I mean, that's basically your job at this point, ironically enough. But at the same time, it was (perhaps in a typically Republican way) very heavy-handed and far too broad. Rather than limiting her remarks to simply saying "Being a community organizer does nothing to prepare you for being president of the U.S." she took it a step further and essentially just demeaned anybody who's ever worked as a community organizer.

I don't know why that bothered me so much. I mean, I don't have some great affinity for community organizers (though I'm sure they're generally fine people). It just strikes me as, well, wrong more than anything else. It's almost like she didn't even get the point of what she was saying. Just far too broad and insulting.

Kinda like a Dick Cheney shotgun to the face. Which is weird, because she strikes me as much more of a sharpshooting, rifle girl.



(I realize it's fake. But it still makes me laugh.)
